Abstract:Different loading conditions cause different tensile stress patterns in masonry structures. Several studies related to masonry behavior use indirect tensile tests to obtain that value, where the splitting test from ASTM-C-1006 is usually employed. In this paper, an experimental analysis of the tensile strength of hollow concrete blocks is reported. Different locations of the rod from the ASTM-C-1006 splitting test were analyzed. The tensile strength was evaluated in four different ways, placing the rod: (1) in… Show more
